Things I Learnt Today

I realize that I dont usually offer much by way of wisdom to my readers, so I thought I'd share some useful information with you for a change.
Lesson #1
When you book a train ticket for a journey that involves a change of trains, make sure that you make both reservations using a single reservation slip. Write the starting and final destination on the top, and then write the train number and name of the train for the first part of your journey. In the space where they ask for onward/ return journey details, enter the details for the second part of the journey. By doing this, you can actually save quite a lot of money on reservation charges, etc., as I learned this morning. They issue two separate tickets but the second is not valid without the first. Hope some of you will find this useful.

I am quite sure there were some more lessons that I'd learned today, but the only one that springs to mind is this:
Lesson #2
"Crapulous" means overindulgence in eating and drinking. For some reason, that makes me giggle every time. The reason I know this (the word, not the giggling) is that I am preparing for my GRE exam, which is on Monday. After one of my friends (not so...ok, strike that out) gently scolded me for taking interviews too lightly, I have turned over a new leaf completely. No more taking things lightly. Which brings us to..

Lesson #3
I am not incorrigible. Yipee!
